Figure 1 shows typical VOL vs IOL and VOH vs IOH curves to illustrate the output impedance and drive capability of the circuit. At the beginning of the signal transition, the DOC circuit provides a maximum dynamic drive that is equivalent to a high-drive standard-output device.

POST OFFICE BOX 655303 • DALLAS, TEXAS 75265 1 SN74AVC16374 16-BIT EDGE-TRIGGERED D-TYPE FLIP-FLOP WITH 3-STATE OUTPUTS SCES158F – DECEMBER 1998 – REVISED FEBRUARY 2000 description (continued) The SN74AVC16374 is particularly suitable for implementing buffer registers, I/O ports, bidirectional bus drivers, and working registers. It can be used as two 8-bit flip-flops or one 16-bit flip-flop. On the positive transition of the clock (CLK) input, the Q outputs of the flip-flop take on the logic levels at the data (D) inputs. OE can be used to place the eight outputs in either a normal logic state (high or low logic levels) or the high-impedance state. In the high-impedance state, the outputs neither load nor drive the bus lines significantly. The high-impedance state and the increased drive provide the capability to drive bus lines without need for interface or pullup components. OE does not affect internal operations of the flip-flop. Old data can be retained or new data can be entered while the outputs are in the high-impedance state. To ensure the high-impedance state during power up or power down, OE should be tied to VCC through a pullup resistor; the minimum value of the resistor is determined by the current-sinking capability of the driver. This device is fully specified for partial-power-down applications using Ioff. The Ioff circuitry disables the outputs, preventing damaging current backflow through the device when it is powered down. The SN74AVC16374 is characterized for operation from –40°C to 85°C. terminal assignments DGG OR DGV PACKAGE (TOP VIEW) 1OE 1Q1 1Q2 GND 1Q3 1Q4 VCC 1Q5 1Q6 GND 1Q7 1Q8 2Q1 2Q2 GND 2Q3 2Q4 VCC 2Q5 2Q6 GND 2Q7 2Q8 2OE 2 1 48 2 47 3 46 4 45 5 44 6 43 7 42 8 41 9 40 10 39 11 38 12 37 13 36 14 35 15 34 16 33 17 32 18 31 19 30 20 29 21 28 22 27 23 26 24 25 POST OFFICE BOX 655303 1CLK 1D1 1D2 GND 1D3 1D4 VCC 1D5 1D6 GND 1D7 1D8 2D1 2D2 GND 2D3 2D4 VCC 2D5 2D6 GND 2D7 2D8 2CLK • DALLAS, TEXAS 75265 SN74AVC16374 16-BIT EDGE-TRIGGERED D-TYPE FLIP-FLOP WITH 3-STATE OUTPUTS SCES158F – DECEMBER 1998 – REVISED FEBRUARY 2000 FUNCTION TABLE (each 8-bit flip-flop) INPUTS OE CLK D OUTPUT Q L ↑ H H L ↑ L L L H or L X Q0 H X X Z logic symbol† 1OE 1CLK 2OE 2CLK 1D1 1D2 1D3 1D4 1D5 1D6 1D7 1D8 2D1 2D2 2D3 2D4 2D5 2D6 2D7 2D8 1 1EN 48 C1 24 2EN 25 C2 47 1D 2 1 46 3 44 5 43 6 41 8 40 9 38 11 37 12 36 13 2D 2 35 14 33 16 32 17 30 19 29 20 27 22 26 23 1Q1 1Q2 1Q3 1Q4 1Q5 1Q6 1Q7 1Q8 2Q1 2Q2 2Q3 2Q4 2Q5 2Q6 2Q7 2Q8 † This symbol is in accordance with ANSI/IEEE Std 91-1984 and IEC Publication 617-12. logic diagram (positive logic) 1OE 1CLK 1D1 1 2OE 48 47 2CLK C1 2 1D 1Q1 24 25 C1 2D1 36 13 2Q1 To Seven Other Channels To Seven Other Channels POST OFFICE BOX 655303 1D • DALLAS, TEXAS 75265 3 SN74AVC16374 16-BIT EDGE-TRIGGERED D-TYPE FLIP-FLOP WITH 3-STATE OUTPUTS SCES158F – DECEMBER 1998 – REVISED FEBRUARY 2000 absolute maximum ratings over operating free-air temperature range (unless otherwise noted)† Supply voltage range, VCC . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . –0.5 V to 4.6 V Input voltage range, VI (see Note 1) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . –0.5 V to 4.6 V Voltage range applied to any output in the high-impedance or power-off state, VO (see Note 1) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . –0.5 V to 4.6 V Voltage range applied to any output in the high or low state, VO (see Notes 1 and 2) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . –0.5 V to VCC + 0.5 V Input clamp current, IIK (VI < 0) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . –50 mA Output clamp current, IOK (VO < 0) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . –50 mA Continuous output current, IO . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ±50 mA Continuous current through each VCC or GND . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ±100 mA Package thermal impedance, θJA (see Note 3): DGG package . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 70°C/W DGV package . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 58°C/W Storage temperature range, Tstg . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . –65°C to 150°C † Stresses beyond those listed under “absolute maximum ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device.
